For many years I lived on a remote farm with a very long, dirt access road. The first few times I made the journey, it seemed interminable. Then I discovered that the way to cope with it was to divide it into quarters. If I knew I was only in the second quarter, I didn't start looking out for the farm house; and each quarter mark gave me a sense of progress. What does that have to do with tatting? I have marked
round 6 of Renulek's doily into quarters using yellow thread, to measure my progress on
round 7. I've just passed the first quarter marker, whoo-oo.
Beautiful work, and good method:))
ReplyDeleteThis is so nice how big is it now?
ReplyDeletethat is a very smart idea.
ReplyDeleteI used little pins! : )) I am a “counter” like the Count on Sesame Street; I count everything. So does my sister.
ReplyDeleteThe world is divided into 2 camps: those who count and those who do not.
I am also a “marker.” So are you!

:-) Probably related to my list-making tendencies!
DeleteGreat idea!! Your doily is still so very beautiful to me!!! :)

ReplyDeleteI count and mark and make lists too :) It does seem to help mark progress along the way - especially on those large projects. This doily is going to be beautiful! Can't wait to see more.
ReplyDeleteWow it is getting so big, you have so much patience
